Implementation TF Documentation For L4 and L5 Methods SG Approved
Level 4
Description of the method of quantification1 for deriving Level 4 emissions estimates,
including:
o Quantification approach including rationale
o Measurement instrument(s), engineering calculation or quantification model used
1
Method of quantification means a specific logical sequence of operations used for quantification.
Implementation Task Force
Documentation L4 and L5 methods Approved by the SG – April 2023
o Details of the measurement procedure including sampling, measurement, calculation,
and estimation methodologies (including relevant technology limitations, such as
detection limit), as relevant to the assessment of whether companies have attained this
level of reporting.
Level 5
Documentation as for Level 4 as above, plus:
• Site level methane emissions measurement method, including rationale, justification of
selected method and relevant limitations. Site level measurements provided by
service/technology provider (data at site level and/or for main equipment).
• Details of sampling, measurement and calculation steps to derive emission rates, as
relevant to the assessment of whether companies have attained this level of reporting
• Method for uncertainty estimates of source level and site level quantification. For
companies attempting reconciliation to achieve level 5, reporting of uncertainty
estimates of source and site level.
• Reconciliation approach of source and site level results, including rationale
